Chapter Forty-Four: The Old Man Meets Wine
However, it is said that how the 70,000 Beifu soldiers in the Eastern Jin Dynasty defeated the million-strong army of the former Qin, which starts with Fu Rong, the commander of the vanguard of the former Qin. Let's say that Na Furong led the 250,000 vanguard troops of the former Qin Dynasty in an attempt to annihilate the vanguard troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty in one fell swoop. Xie Shi, the governor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, believed that the Former Qin army was strong, and planned to take advantage of the natural danger of the river, actively defend, hold on without fighting, and wait for the opportunity to counterattack when the Former Qin army came from afar and was tired.
Na Fu Rong relied on the former Qin soldiers to have many generals, very arrogant, too light on the enemy, the previous battles were frequently victorious, and also surrounded the Eastern Jin Dynasty Chinese army, but unexpectedly by the Eastern Jin Dynasty Changshui Captain Shi Ning broke through alone, wounded Liu Bao and Kong Lu, two Taiwutang tiger guards, and the morale dropped greatly.
Fu Rong was also anxious for quick success and quick success, and wanted to annihilate the vanguard troops of the Eastern Jin Dynasty when the main army led by Fu Jian, the former king of Qin, to gather on the banks of Bagong Mountain and Weishui, but encountered the stubborn resistance of Liu Yu and Xie Ying of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and ventured across the river and entered the camp of the Chinese army in the Eastern Jin Dynasty alone, and finally fell into the ambush of Xie Xuan, the deputy governor of the Eastern Jin Dynasty, and the vanguard troops of the former Qin Dynasty were defeated.
Xie Xuan also adopted the strategy of Cao Long and Yuan Cen, staff officers of the Changshui Lieutenant Battalion, to plant flags on the Bagong Mountain next to the river, bluffing, and mobilizing warships to train sailors on the south bank of the river.
When the former Qin army was tired of confrontation, slackened on guard, and the morale of the officers and soldiers declined, the soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty and the Northern Prefecture quickly launched a general attack, Cao Long and Yuan Cen shouted again: "The Qin army is defeated! The Qin army is defeated!" The slogan of "The Qin army is defeated!" shook the sky, the morale of the Eastern Jin Dynasty army was high, and the flag of Bagong Mountain was waved again, and the former Qin soldiers did not know the situation, thinking that the Qin army had been ambushed and defeated, so they abandoned and fled for their lives, and suddenly the former Qin army of one million was defeated.
On the battlefield, the Beifu soldiers were cleaning the battlefield and harvesting the spoils, and the officers and soldiers of the Eastern Jin Dynasty were all immersed in the joy of victory.
Shi Ning carried his Liangyi sword, standing on the battlefield in a daze, most of the corpses of the soldiers in front of him were trampled to death by the former Qin, this decisive battle, Shi Ning only wounded and repelled the enemy army, although he did not kill a single person, but he was more uncomfortable than killing thousands of people, he said sadly in his heart: "When will we stop this killing and return the world to peace?"
The flags on Bagong Mountain were slowly put away, and a group of people came on the mountain, it seemed that they were not Beifu soldiers, but some people from the rivers and lakes, their clothes were patched, their pockets were full, they were very tattered, they were all holding wooden sticks, holding broken bowls, unkempt, and very shabby.
Cao Long and Yuan Cen, who were counting the spoils of war, saw these people coming down from the mountain, hurriedly put down their work and stepped forward to greet them.
Cao Long arched his hand and said: "This battle is a great victory, and you have worked hard. β
The leader straightened out the dirt on his torn clothes, and said with a smile: "It is within my help's duty to drive out the Hu soldiers, defend the rivers and mountains of my Han people in the Great Jin Dynasty, and do my part!"
Cao Long said: "This battle has made a great contribution to the noble gang, and I will definitely report the merits of the Qin Helm Lord and all the brothers, I will report to the imperial court!"
The leader waved his hand and said: "I don't dare to take credit, and I don't want honor, I and my brothers will be content if we don't worry about food and clothing in the future!" After speaking, he stroked his shriveled belly and laughed.
"It's so lively, may I ask who these heroes are?" Shi Ning saw that the crowd was gathered together, so he went over to ask.
After the battle, the battlefield was still full of smoke, so Cao Long didn't notice Shi Ning standing not far away, and hurriedly reported: "General Shi, these heroes are all disciples of the beggar gang Huainan rudder, this is the helmsman Qin Miao. β
Shi Ning followed the direction of Cao Long's finger and looked at the person headed by the beggar gang, at this moment Shi Ning remembered Su Hong, the helmsman of the Danyang branch who had murdered him with the fifth senior brother Congyibai, besides, he had been in the beggar gang for a while, and he had experienced the days of bullying the small and starving, so he did not have a good impression of the beggar gang.
Qin Miao, the helmsman of Huainan in front of him, is about sixty years old, he looks as thin as firewood, and his face is withered but very kind, unlike Su Hong, the helmsman of Danyang who is very sinister in his heart.
And Shi Ning admired the chivalrous man who served the country and the people the most, so he said comfortably: "The Qin helmsman led the beggars to pretend to ambush the soldiers, scared off the former Qin army, and made the first contribution to the Great Jin!"
Qin Miao said: "A few days ago, I heard that a young man became the leader of the martial arts alliance, and the old beggar was still unconvinced, I said how can a little doll take on such a big responsibility, I wanted to lead the Huainan rudder disciples to join the Beifu soldiers, so I dispelled this ideaγγγγγγ β
Before the words fell, only a few sounds of "coo!" Qin Miao's belly rang with hunger, and then the belly of the beggars and disciples also sounded.
"Ahh
So Shi Ning ordered the subordinates of the Changshui Captain Battalion to camp on the spot, and hurriedly distributed coarse grain steamed buns, cakes, wowotou and other dry food to the beggars.
Cao Long and Yuan Cen hurriedly stopped: "Heroes, the water is soaked with the corpses of the Qin soldiers! The water is undrinkable!" So he ordered the soldiers to bring clean water and distribute water ladles, pots and pans for the beggars to help the disciples drink.
After filling his stomach a little, Qin Miao continued: "A hairy boy is the leader of the martial arts alliance, and I am the first to disagree with the old beggar, if I was in the martial arts competition at the time, I must beat that hairy boy, how can I be the leader of the martial arts alliance." β
As he spoke, Qin Miao realized that Shi Ning was sitting on the seat of the captain next to the tent, and it was not appropriate to speak like this, so he smiled innocently, and changed his words: "Later, when I heard that General Shi had defeated the heads of the Shangqing faction, the Lingbao faction and other major factions by himself, I was in awe and convinced. β
Shi Ning said with a smile: "It was the heads of each faction who tried to compete before, and it took most of the strength to win." β
Qin Miao jumped up and said, "Hey, how can it be a fluke, it must be General Shi who is overwhelming the crowd, I heard that the big wild goose skill and those three swordsmanship are amazing!"
"What three swordsmanship, that's the Three Emperors swordsmanship! Old Qin Helmsman, I think you are old and confused. A young beggar in the audience said.
"Yes, yes, the Three Emperors Sword Technique, the most powerful sword technique that has recently come out of nowhere!
"Lame?" Shi Ning heard this name and suddenly recalled Ah Lame and Ah Que who led him into the beggar gang in the beggar gang, and it was their help that Shi Ning did not starve to death on the streets.
Shi Ning looked at Na Ah Limp carefully, his face matured a lot, his figure was still thin but he had grown a lot taller, his hair was longer and fluffier, and his limp was even greater, the more he looked at it, the more he looked like it!
"Lame!" Shi Ning couldn't help but exclaim.
The lame man didn't know who called him, looked around, his eyes fell on the captain's main seat, and asked weakly: "Shi... General Shi, you called me?"
"Ah lame, don't you remember me? I almost starved to death in Danyang County a few years ago, and it was you and Ah Que who saved me!"
Ah Limp's eyes lit up, and he jumped up and shouted, "It's you! It's you! That little beggar who is dying of hunger, haha, you have become a generalγγγγγ Suddenly realized that he had lost his temper again, so he hurriedly straightened his seat, and glanced at Shi Ning timidly, afraid that the general in front of him would blame him, and said in his heart: "Now that he is a general, not the little beggar back then, I am a little presumptuousγγγγγ β
Shi Ning walked over and patted Ah Limp's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Yes, it's me!"
Ah Limp lowered his head and did not dare to speak again.
Shi Ning asked again: "Ah Lame, why didn't I see Ah Que?"
"Ahh Ah Que is outside the account. The voice was still timid.
"How can Ah Que be outside the tent, quickly call him in, and we will talk about the past. Shi Ning said happily.
"He can't come inγγγγγ "Limp.
"Why?"
Ah Qian fiddled with the four rag bags on his clothes and said, "I am the four-bag disciple of the beggar gang Huainan rudder, and Ah Que is an ordinary disciple with a low rank, so I can't come in." β
Shi Ning smiled: "It's all my good brother, call him in." Xin said: "Back then, in order to avoid the murder of Su Hong and Cong Yibai, I escaped from the Danyang rudder, and I was worried that Ah Lame and Ah Que would be bullied by bullies and beggars after I left, but I didn't expect Ah Lame to mix well in recent years, and the little beggars who were bullied on the street became four bags of disciples." β
The lame Ah Que led the handless Ah Que slowly into the military tent, and as soon as Ah Que came in, he knelt down and kowtowed, shouting loudly: "See General Shi!"
Shi Ning hurriedly went over and helped Ah Que up, and said sternly: "They are all my good brothers, don't see outside!"
Laa Lame and Ah Que sat on the left and right, and let the gang prepare good dishes, and the Jin army won a great victory, so they were allowed to drink properly in these days to celebrate, and a good jar of wine was served, so several people drank freely.
After a few rounds, Ah Lame and Ah Que, who were slightly drunk, were not so restrained, and hooked up with Shi Ning to recount the past.
Ah Lian raised a bottle of good wine and drank it all, staggered forward to clink glasses with everyone, and then clinked glasses with Shi Ning, sat down and continued: "Brother Zhao, oh no, it was Brother Shi who left without saying goodbye, and Su Hong, the helmsman of Danyang, actually suspected that it was me and Ah Que who sent you away, and Su Hong said that the boiled duck flew in vain, and he couldn't beat the anger in his heart, so he took us out of anger and called ten disciples to beat us half to death. That night, I was so painful that I tried to steal a knife to slaughter the dog, but I was lame, incapacitated, and unable to move, so I gave up. Thinking that we would be tortured by Su Hong every day in the future, we discussed escaping from the Danyang beggar gang. β
Shi Ning sighed: "Alas, it's all me who has caused you to be burdened, in order to avoid the pursuit and killing, I mixed into the Danyang beggar gang under the pseudonym Zhao Fu, but I didn't want to leak the news, so I had to leave without saying goodbyeγγγγγ Then where did you leave Danyang and go?"
